    Ball and Chain #2 (this time a bit of garnish)
    Ang F.

    Would I recommend this spot to everyone? No. Would I recommend this spot to anyone feeling like their best she-self? Absolutely! Super cute spot that really screams, "girls run the world". A perfect spot for a ladies happy hour, or even a sophisticated bachelorette. The vibe is groovy and creative, as are the drink selections. Oh, and there's also a free photo booth carved in a wall. Reminds me of Harry Potter's closet room, but all glammed up by a diva version of Xzibit on "Pimp My Ride". Service was great, drinks made to order. I swear I intended to try two different drinks, but I enjoyed the Ball and Chain so much, I got it again. I'd describe it as a whiskey sour, with a head of foam for creaminess. I will disclose, however, the drink (for $14) was quite small and the second bartender made it sweeter than the first...the first was made wonderfully by Saz. Seems like some consistency is needed. Happy Hour is long, 3-7 PM which will save you $2 off most (almost all) choices. If you're looking for a bar happy hour, this may be out of the way as it is far down East Caesar Chavez, but if you're looking for some cute cocktails with your she-friends, check it out!

    This is my first time at Love Birds. Great atmosphere! Really awesome aesthetic they created inside. Giving this place a 4 out of 5 because the drinks were just not giving what they should have. I found them really underwhelming. I ordered a Ball and Chain and my partner ordered a Mai Tai. Both were a little lackluster. However, service is quick, and the bartenders are friendly! I love the vibe they've created, and there's tons of space to sit outside, as well. No parking on site, but it's easy to find (free) street parking nearby. There's also a delicious poke food truck parked on site, which is a must!

    Something random the bartender made me ;)

    Check out Lovebirds! I Really loved the energy of patrons, and thoughtful decor of LoveBirds! I had no problem finding parking around the corner in a neighborhood (no intense parking signs around.) The interior decorator definitely did their thing and knows how to make a space inviting + beautiful. I loved all the small touches, the atmosphere and how everything came together in the theme of a moody romantic vibe. This would be a cute place to check out around the love month of February! LISTEN! My favorite thing here was the music! Wow, the playlist going was amazing--great R&B vibes (music may vary if there's a different bartender) the bartender whipped up a really fun cocktail (+10) and I also ordered the passion fruit margarita and it was great ($12) There's also a poke place right next door, but I'm sure you could bring in a snack or dinner and no one would mind.

    Bartender was fantastic. He crafted a lovely gin cocktail with fig syrup that blew my mind. Then he shared his loved a mezcal with a bartenders choice concoction that was smokey and balanced. The interior is adorable. Definitely worth a visit.

    Came here for a first date and it's a pretty cute place. I happened to pick the broken stool and the bartender was attentive enough to come over and let me know there are better stools. The drinks menu is a little bit limited though. I feel that there were maybe 10 alcoholic drink options available. Their signature lovebird cocktails were quite delicious though.

    This place is adorable. I love the cute couches and the hip cushions. The bartender was nice and personable so I thought it was gonna be a 5 star experience right off the bat. I ordered a lovebird cocktail with Dos Hombres mezcal instead of rum. It did not taste like it had any mezcal and instead of any hint of smokiness it pretty much just tasted like soap. I took off the gold paper straw and that helped with the odd taste a tiny bit. We ended up going to a different bar, but next time I'll try something different to see if I have a better experience.

    Came by to escape the heat while waiting for some BBQ, the vibe, great drinks, ambiance and hospitality from operator Randy made us take the food to go and hang there! Beautiful place, great drinks, excellent service and variety of attractions like photobooth, indoor/outdoor seating and beautiful hand custom decor throughout, 10/10 will be back

    Absolutely adored this bar! I returned 2 times in my 4 day visit to Austin(technically 3 because my friend forgot her phone). Let's talk about the beyond cute interior here. So girly so cute. I want to live down the street. I got a new style Mai Tai and was promised no weird juice in it. Absolutely loved it. I'm a huge mai tai girl and plan on returning to fill my punch card out!! Pro tip send a friend as tribute to the line across the street for La Bbq(for the meat sweats) while you enjoy a drink or two. There sacrifice for the vibes is worth it(I was not said friend they are the mvp). Also they have fun mocktails that you can order to go in the cutest cup. I just asked for the cup and they are rad enough to just let me have it. (I'm hindsight I probably should have got our sacrificial line friend a mocktail)

    This place is so cute. It is just as People have been posting about it. It's fun, chic, vintage looking cute. The bartenders were super nice and very attentive right away. This place is also dog friendly, which was so fun. I had the lovebird drink, which was good if you like Mezcal and rum. They also gave us a taste of a Red Bull watermelon slushy kind of drink and it was delicious. This is definitely going to be a staple for Austin and a cute hang out either indoor or outdoor with friends or even a date spot just to grab some cute drinks.

    This used to be Counter Culture. My vegan go to anytime I would visit Austin. I didn't know how to feel about being in a space I used to love, as a new business but it was good vibes. I loved the aesthetic of Lovebirds and the drinks were so good! It did get extremely loud inside once it got packed but we were gone by then. The crowd is a younger crowd but anyone can go and enjoy a cocktail. The Photo Booth could've been better. It's just a small pink closet sized room with a huge screen that takes bad photos of you. They could I've just done the old school Photo Booth where u get the print outs of the photos. It's still going to get some used to this space not being Counter Culture. Bar tenders were nice.

    Cute cocktail spot! Ambiance is adorable and unique. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options. The cocktails are all made to order and delicious. Highly recommend checking it out.

The bartender claimed I was drunk and cut me off anyway. I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.

If you're coming here definitely do yourself the favor and Uber as parking is incredibly difficult to find there. Getting in is very quick and efficient and once you're in you're greeted by live music and a fun open space to get drinks and hang out with friends. There are multiple different places to get drinks from which is nice as you can choose how long you would like to wait in a line. Drinks are not unreasonably priced and they were good as well. The ability to sit throughout the area, get up and dance, or just listen to music makes this a great spot to stay entertained for a while. We came when there was an event being put on by Zyn where they were giving out free drinks to nicotine users which was funny because why not get you hooked on nicotine AND alcohol. But seriously, there are typically food trucks and more things going on here but the Zyn trucks took up those spots which was a bit of a letdown but we're assuming that's just a one off event. Between a good band, decent drinks, and a good amount of seating options, this is a good spot to sit down with some friends and just vibe out for the night. We'd give it a recommendation if you're looking for something fun but not too much fun on a night on East 6th.

The service was great, albeit there wasn't a big crowd. Everything came out quick and the staff were super attentive. The music was fun and vibes were great! I got to say that some happy hour prices were totally reasonable. Not boozy libations... but ok. However, $17 for a small cocktail? Joking right? Prices were from $5-$17 for everything from draught, premixed, and mixed but I feel like for that price point you are competing with bars that can be more creative with their drinks for a few bucks more. Is it worth a go? Sure! Recommend. Looking for basic cocktails at a reasonable price point- maybe. However they do focus on Mescal themed drinks if that's your thing so it's a bit of a niche.

In addition to oysters, there are awesome items like fingerling potatoes in Caesar dip, pasta sopresina with mussels, chicken wings, and a burger on the happy hour menu. I was really impressed with everything, especially the pasta. We ordered a side of foccacia to soak up all the sauce, it was divine! I started with La Brasa for my drink - which was a spicy tequila based cocktail with mango. I also got an Aperol spritz which was the size of my head, I loved it! We finished happy hour with a sweet treat that our local expert said we MUST try - the lasagna mille-feuille. This is a layered lasanga-inspired dessert with cream, crispy pastry, and candied pecan. For being so rich in flavor, this dish was light and airy and the perfect way to end our happy hour. The service here was friendly, and the place was packed! We made it for happy hour and left while live jazz was just starting. While it was a dreary day on our visit, I could definitely see myself having cocktails and oysters on the patio if it was a sunny day - it's so cute out there!
